We used one up on Lake Erie and again on Lake Cumberland and it never seemed to help us find more fish. (although it was helpful in locating a rather large sandbar we had somehow missed the warning buoys for) To me it took the fun out of fishing. I want to use my "gut" to find the bass, not a machine. I use fishing as my escape from the confines of technology and a way to connect with nature. The only "technological" thing I take with me fishing is a cell phone in case of emergency. I'm sure depth finders are invaluable to commercial fishermen and pros, but it took the sport out of fishing for me personally. Just my 2 cents. I’ve never been a fan of depth finders.
